The Ruffed Grouse Society’s Board of Directors, its loyal staff, wildlife biologists, regional directors and dedicated volunteers are once again proud to support National Hunting and Fishing Day. RGS is pleased with recent studies that show that the vast majority of Americans support our sport-hunting tradition,” said RGS President and CEO Mike Zagata.

“As RGS prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in October, we congratulate those who have diligently kept alive the message of our hunting and fishing traditions and heritage during these past 39 years. The role sportsmen and sportswomen have played, and continue to play, in the conservation movement must be recognized by hunters and non-hunters alike as the habitat management efforts they continue to fund benefit all wildlife,” Zagata continued.
